Romans 13: 1-8

Being Subject to Authorities

13Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God.
2Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgement.
3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you wish to have no fear of the authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive its approval;
4for it is Gods servant for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for the authority* does not bear the sword in vain! It is the servant of God to execute wrath on the wrongdoer.
5Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.
6For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are Gods servants, busy with this very thing.
7Pay to all what is due to themtaxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honour to whom honour is due.

Love for One Another

8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
